Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“I had the pleasure of using this mortuary at the Beaufort location and I can't say enough about the level of compassion and professionalism there was. EJ was a God send during this most difficult time and kept me in the loop every step of the way from the time we started this process to the very end even dealing with the craziness with the burial. I would most definitely use their services again should the need arise. I can't say thank you enough to the staff here for everything.”
— Bridgette Spencer
“Extremely Disorganized and Unprofessional Handling of Death Certificate My loved one passed away on April 18, 2025, and as of today, I am still waiting for the death certificate. This delay has caused unnecessary hardship. Concerns: • Death Certificate Process: Completely unsatisfactory; no updates or clear timeline provided. • Communication: Calls and emails are not returned. The call center staff lack training and cannot answer basic questions. • Email Practices: The company continues to use an outdated Hotmail email address instead of a professional domain, which raises serious concerns about credibility and organization. • Funeral Directors: Unavailable and unprofessional. When contact is made, follow-through is nonexistent. This firm has failed to meet even the most basic expectations of professionalism and accountability. Families deserve competent and compassionate service at such a critical time, and unfortunately, that was not provided here.”
— Bridget Forte
“Super pleased with the services that were provided to my family and I. Planning a funeral is hard and very taxing on the emotions but the team at Serenity Mortuary- Beaufort made the process bearable and easy. They are efficient, patient and empathetic towards your every need! I would choose them again.”
